SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The Census Bureau plans to request
clearance from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for the
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
15119
collection of basic demographic
information on the Current Population
Survey (CPS) beginning in September
2024. The current clearance expires
August 31, 2024.
The CPS has been the source of
official government statistics on
employment and unemployment since
1942. The Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS) and the Census Bureau jointly
sponsor the basic monthly survey. The
Census Bureau also prepares and
conducts all the field work. At the
OMB’s request, the Census Bureau and
the BLS divide the clearance request in
order to reflect the joint sponsorship
and funding of the CPS program. BLS
submits a separate clearance request for
the portion of the CPS that collects labor
force information for the civilian
noninstitutional population. Some of
the information within that portion
includes employment status, number of
hours worked, job search activities,
earnings, duration of unemployment,
and the industry and occupation
classification of the job held the
previous week. The justification that
follows is in support of the demographic
data.
The demographic information
collected in the CPS provides a unique
set of data on selected characteristics for
the civilian noninstitutional population.
Some of the demographic information
we collect are age, marital status, sex,
Armed Forces status, education, race,
origin, and family income. We use these
data in conjunction with other data,
particularly the monthly labor force
data, as well as periodic supplement
data. We also use these data
independently for internal analytic
research and for evaluation of other
surveys. In addition, we use these data
as a control to produce accurate
estimates of other personal
characteristics.
II. Method of Collection
The CPS basic demographic
information is collected from individual
households by both personal visit and
telephone interviews each month. All
interviews are conducted using
computer-assisted interviewing.
Households in the CPS are in sample for
four consecutive months, and for the
same four months the following year.
This is called a 4–8–4 rotation pattern;
households are in sample for four
months, in a resting period for eight
months, and then in sample again for
four months.
